Right breast is itchy and have tightness under areola 5 years after revision surgery - what could be wrong?

Asked By:Obsessed1491 in Los Angeles, California

Hi it’s been about 9 years since I had my breast lift. Left side anchor, right side donut. It’s been 5 years since I had my revision to switch out my implants. Over the past few years my right breast is itchy on the inside under my areola and around the sides(feels like it’s inside my breast not the skin). I also have a tightness under my areola. The left breast is fine. I’m not near my plastic surgeon and I’m worried to go see a new one due to cost. What could be wrong? Help
